e claims. (o1. 24-26o) This invention relates to hose supporters, 'andhas for its object the production of` a simple and efficient ladys hosesupporter which' is so con structedas to efficiently grip the top of Vastocking inl order to eliminate all danger of creating runs in theV hoseor stocking. f 1

i VAnother object of-this invention is the production of a simple andeicient hose supporter which is providedA with two smooth surfacesvbetween.

which the hose maybermly clamped, thereby eliminating `the necessity ofdrawing downthe clamping member over the'hose which would -be r.

likely to cause a run. 't t A further object of this invention isthepro-v duction of a'simple and efficient hose supporterV and claspwhich will efficiently grip the top of `the hose and firmly support thesame in engagement with the supporting elastic. Y lWith these andother'objectsin view, this invention consists ofcertainlnovelconstructions, combinations and arrangements of parts as will behereinafter fully described Vand claimed.`

In Vthe drawing: Figure 1 is a front porter and clasp;

Figure 7 is a detail perspective view of the'hoseV supporting clip, theswinging jaw being shown in an openposition, the clip also being shownin` engagement with a wide strip of supporting elastic; and v Figure 8is a vertical sectional'view through the supportingelastic illustratedin Figure '7 showing the sliding buckle mounted inan adjusted positionupon the supporting elastic. p

By referring to the drawing, it will be seen that 1 designates the bodyof the hose supporting `clip which is preferably formed of a metallicstructure comprising a. pair of interfitting sections 2 and 3, n each ofthe interiitting sections 2 land 3 having side iianges 4 and 5` `which.are adapted to abut and suitable rivets or other Asecuring means 6 maybe employed for securing these flanges 4 'and 5 together, therebyholding the interfitting sections 2 and 3 in an assembled relation..The'section 2 of the clip l is providedwith a stationary is secured tojaw 7 havinga rolled lip 8 along the lowerextremity. yA hinged jaw 9 ishingedly secured to the `section `3`by means of a supporting pintle 10which extends through the anges 4' of vthe section 2 ofthe clip', thejay/'Shaving `a rolled portion `11 which lfits `transversely extendinginwardly snuglyk around the supporting pintle 10. This hinged jaw V9carries aller strip 12 between the inwardly bent lips 13 of the sideflanges: 14of the/hinged. jaw` 9` and this filler strip or cleat 12 thevjaw by the inwardlyturned clamping-vp'ortions 13 and also the. studs 15which extends through suitable apertures formed the hinged jaw 9, 'asillustrated.4 -This cleat 12 `is preferably convex in crosssectionandisadapted to be brought-into `interlocking'relation-with the inwardlyturned rib 8 of the stationaryV jaw 7 and)v firmly grip the stocking 16therebetween' and eiiicientlyhold therstocking in engagement with thevclas'porfclip.' l s `I z i L A sliding clip.17is'slidab1ymounted upontheclasp 1 and is movable longitudinally-thereof'and` this sliding' clip'17 is prvidedwith end iianges 18` which arein turn'bent rearwardly ofthe-clasp 1 to .provideretaining hooks 419;` aslshownin Figure 6 andthereby permit a sliding clip to be freely movable longitudinally oftheclasp 1. A

preferably struck outwardly N nger-grip portion `from the sliding clipis provided, as indicated aty 20, to facilitate the movement oftheclasp 1. By carefully consideringthedrawing, it will be seen that thestationary jaw "I by having the translv'ersely extending inwardly bentrolledV rib 81 in conjunction with the rounded cleat 12 will produce aneflicient friction grip for Vthe stocking which will be of materiallength extending transversely across the top of the stocking so as toprevent the breaking of the iibre of thestocking and Aalso prevent thestarting of larun, due to this wide gripping featureofthe jaw which willrmly clamp the stocking throughout 'the transverse area of the clasp.Thesliding clip 1-'7 is of such a structure as lto cause the hinged jaw9 to be readily swung into rmclamping engagement with the stationaryjaw? as thesliding clip 17 is moved Ydownwardly toward the vlower end ofthe clasp 1.

The clasp 1 is provided with suitable threading apertures 22, 23, 24,and 25, through which nar. row supporting elastic 26 may be threaded.lsuit-v able teeth 2'7 being employed in the aperture 25 and suitableteeth 28 being employed in the aperture 23 to efficientlygrip theelastic as is obvious f from the drawing, and hold the elastic ina firmposition toprevent' slipping. The elastic 26 may `be supported` in, anysuitable or desiredmanner to a girdle, it heingusual to use the narrowelastic for this purpose.

When it is desired to use the clip in conjunction with corsets, thewider band of elastic illustrated and indicated bythe numeral 29 may beemployed upon which wider strip of elastic 9y mayA be adjusted thesliding buckle 30 having two rows of adverse teeth indicated by thenumerals 31 and ,32 in Figures 7 and 8. Through the medium of thissliding buckle 30 a proper adjustment ofv the elastic 29 may be had. Asuitable link 33 may be clipped into engagement with the clasp 1 :asshown in Figure 7, for attaching the wide band v. of .elastic 29 to theclasp 4. .By means ofthe .shown in Figure V4.

lstructure just described, it will be seen that the clasp may be readilyattached to the elasticwithvout the necessity ofsewing or stitching theelastic to the clasp, due to the arrangement of the sliding buckle whenwide elastic is used, and also due to the manner of threading theelastic 26 through -the :respective :apertures formedA in `the clasp, yas 'It should be understoodof course that certain detail changes in themechanical structure .so far as this .connection is .concerned may beemployed without departing' from the spirit of the invention f I Y willhave an` even contact on the material, 'and these jaws will y.be rmlytions,
